Jewelry Exchanges & Returns
At HotMixCold, we are committed to customer satisfaction, and we work hard to craft personalized jewelry that looks great and lasts. If the piece of jewelry you receive doesn’t match your expectations, we want to make it right. That’s how we became one of the top jewelers on Etsy! On this page, we outline our simple process for exchanges and returns. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to learn more.
Jewelry Repairs & Exchanges
Always contact our team before returning your items. We send and receive numerous packages each day, and we want to ensure yours will not be lost and that we understand why we’re receiving the return item. If we are not contacted prior to your sending the item, we will not be responsible if the item is lost or returned to you. Our jewelry repair and exchange policies are as follows:
- If we made a mistake, we will pay for shipping both ways and repair or exchange the item.
- If you want a different size or style, we will happily exchange the item within 7 days of receipt, but there will be a small fee assessed, and you will be responsible for the cost of shipping.
- If you receive an item that arrived broken, please contact us right away. We will pay for your cost of shipping and will be happy to repair it for you.
Returns
We do accept item returns in a number of situations, and we ask that you contact us within 3 days of delivery based on tracking status before sending back your item. This ensures we understand why we’re receiving the item. If we are not contacted prior to your sending the item, we will not be responsible if the item is lost or returned to you. Our return policies are outlined below:
- Customer is responsible for return shipping fees in almost all cases.
- Hand-stamped items are all unique, and no two are exactly the same. Since these items are created individually, there are occasion when writing or designs are not exactly centered, precisely aligned, or otherwise imperfect. This lends to the unique handmade look of each item. The character might be shown on the reverse side of the disc, this is caused by the pressure used when stamping. These irregularities can't be considered defects. No two items are exactly the same.
- These policies are applied on a case by case basis, and we have the right to refuse the return under certain circumstances.
- Check the lists below to determine whether or not your item is eligible for exchange.
